Lemmy in for #1403.
Before Midnight--Ralph Bellamy’s Inspector Trent solves a double murder case quickly in a movie that clocks in at just over an hour. He bears no relation to English amateur sleuth Philip Trent who first appeared in 1913 in E.C. Bentley’s book Trent’s Last Case, filmed several times.

Touki-Bouki is a remarkable 1973 Nigerian film that has similarities, both stylistic and thematic, to Godard’s Pierrot le Fou,
The Wet Parade looks at how alcohol abuse and the resultant Prohibition in the U.S. ruins two families, one from the North and one from the South. Griffith structured The Birth of a Nation around two geographically similar families.
